Based on current health guidelines, festival organizers moved the market, which typically hosts 200 vendors and thousands of visitors, to an online format, according to a news release Wednesday.

The Virtual Artisan Market will offer artists the opportunity to get their products in front of thousands of people for an extended period of time.
